We learn that His Worship the Hayor will shortly call a. meeting .of persons interested in the Waio-Karaka mines to consider the present position of affairs, and to discuss a "scheme" devised and elaborated by Mr S. E. Richards and Mr T. Eadford, two well-known men of large practical experience in the mining, world, who have given some thought to the subject under notice, and who have further evolved what tkey believe will, if tried, prove to be a cheap and easy solutjpn of the present difficulty. His Worship the Mayor has no special interest in calling the meeting, further than as a citizen to promote the welfare of the place j and as those parties most nearly interested in the matter of the. Waio-Karaka drainage seem unwilling to move in the matter, the Mayor has been asked and has consented to arrange for a meeting, the lime and place of which will, it is likely; be announced shortly. The first difficulty having thus been got over it is devoutly to be hoped that the consideration of this rery important question will be approached with an evident desire on the part of principals to bring about a satisfactory settlement. It will be useless for any party to attempt an arrangement unless all the parties concerned bring to bear upon any discussion some measure of intelligence and lib rality. Where mutual benefits are to be gained mutual concessions must be made. Shareholders must disabuse their -minds of all suspicion that their neighbours are trying their utmost to take advantage of them; and if all the parties meet in a. friendly spirit, and discuss the question in a fair and impartial manner, we have no doubfc an arrangement can be come to which will be satisfactory to.all the persons concerned, and productive of good to the district, by removing one of the severest pinches which has settled down upon mining enterprise for years past.

We learn that Mr A. Porter and I Mr T. Shaw have proceeded to Auckland as a deputation from the miners of Karangahake and Mackaytown to urge upon His Honor the Superintendent the advisability of bringing tho Goldmining 1 Districts Act into operation on the ' Ohinetnuri Goldfield in place of the Act \ of 1866.

Thb London correspondent of the Auckland Star says :—There is some talk of you having the daughter of a Scotch Earl to live with you at the antipodes. The lady, it seems, got into trouble through an indulgence in the grand passion, and her husband had her divorced from him. However, the pair have made it up again and been married a second time, and are about to try what the New Zealand climate will do for them. How many times* I wonder, may a man be married to the same woman ?
